That isn't how the day started. Yes it was a little warm that day, but it had been cold for a few weeks prior which equals the pool being COLD! How it all began was... the girls went out to the pool to float some boats from the side. Before you knew it they were on the top step. Then the second step. Next came "Can we take off our pants?". Before you knew it there were three "Nakey" girls splashing in the pool.
Those squeals were enough to draw all the boys to the pool. (With swim suits mind you). Thanks to Ayi (aka Aunt Kristi) the girls were soon in suits too.

They love playing together and do so very well. They are a little team. Daniel is making his way into that circle of 'brotherhood' as well. But I think he still has a little while before he will be full swing into the mischief that is Pierson and Caleb.
He says this doesn't hurt... I have a hard time believing that.

What an unexpectedly fun day. Because of the cool nights, I thought we were finished with the pool for the season. I totally forgot about the resilience of children. Notice that we adults were there to help if needed but none of us ventured into bathing suits to go into the water past our feet on the steps. What a blessing to have all the grandchildren together for the weekend.
i love the quote at the bottom of this post...of course your children are beautiful but that goes without saying ;)oh, i and i am totally jealous of having a pool right outside your door!
